Our first paper since the #MOF #NobelPrize and first collaboration with @stecanossa.bsky.social!

Alice performed one of the most detailed studies of MOF ion conductivity, rationalizing trends in cation type, charge carrier conc., and vacancy sites based on structure.

New water sorbent paper alert, the new Cr-red-MOF-1 eclipses the maximum capacity record holder of Cr-soc-MOF-1 (doi.org/10.1016/j.ch...). The pore size is massive!

Cr-red-MOF-1: doi.org/10.26434/che...

Excited to share a project that has been years in the making!

We show that the asymmetric isomer of IRMOF-74-II forms a porous material with the local structure of a MOF-74 (such as maintaining open metal sites), but lacks global order.

...unfortunately it is just NaHCO3

Not modulated like Na2CO3 (doi.org/10.1107/S010...)

Curious choice of aperiodic floor tiling in Tokyo

Interesting new results from the Long Lab! A series of lutetium metallocenes with spin density residing significantly in the 6s orbital.

Adding some more detail: the Ni-rich's maximum capacity–step relative humidity metrics approach the empirical limit, and it is stable towards cycling, with minimal loss in working capacity over 100 cycles (cycled between 20–40% RH with a working capacity of 0.64 g/g).

Excited to share Karla's paper, finding a new highly connected benzotriazolate MOF! This framework is susceptible to metal exchange, and its water sorption is impressive.

Karla is now doing a PhD with Paul Chirik at Princeton. Keep an eye on her work in the future!

For those who keep up with water sorbent literature, this new COF-309 is quite interesting. It has one of the highest maximum sorption capacities given the position of the condensation step, approaching the empirical limit we set last year.

I am excited to share our group's latest manuscript, now live on the #ChemRxiv! We show by electron diffraction that Zn3(HOTP)2 isn't a typical 2D MOF, but is instead a 3D connected structure with incommensurate modulations. #crystallography

Here is Mathematica notebook to calculate the isosteric enthalpy of adsorption (here written for the Unilan model, but I can add for dual-site Langmuir or virial upon request). These fits use error propagation to generate error bars for the ∆H.

Here is a set of Mathematica notebooks to generate Tanabe-Sugano diagrams for d1 to d10.

Here you can adjust the Racah parameters, and use the equations to directly fit to experimental values. The diagrams are generated from doi.org/10.1143/JPSJ...

Hello Bluesky! Here are some useful resources that I've compiled over the years (1/n)
